Killer Kawasaki
Moped
Have a chance to purchase at a great price. BMW has 66k on the clock, my Connie, only 16. I see plenty about FD failure. The KRS has great tech on it, factory cruise, ABS, linked brakes (8 pots up front!), and heated grips. It is also sporting a reported 135 HP at the rear wheel.
I'll probably keep them both through the Winter, then sell the Connie in the Spring. I have the Connie all sorted out, and the KRS is an unknown, but quite clean. I can buy the Bimmer for $3600, and probably get $3200 or so for the Connie, so an even trade.
The Connie feels great in the Twisties, the KRS feels heavy around town. I have spent a ton of time getting the Connie rideable. I learned alot too. Did the forks, brakes with new SS lines, lubed the drive assembly and rear swing arm linkages. It is ready to roll.
I have loans on both a KLR and the Connie, so I am not flush with money. Seems smart to hold on to the Connie until Spring to get the most out of it.
Would like to keep both, but they are similar machines. Will have them both for a while though. Probably make better bank if I sell the K bike.
Where I am now anyway.
Potential Purchase
I'd sure miss the great trunk though...
